Professor Prokop from Radboud University, The Netherlands, is an expert in body imaging with a special focus on multislice CT and
new imaging technologies. As one of the first users of the various
generations of multislice CT scanners, he is working on new and improved
imaging applications, with a special focus on cardiovascular and thoracic
imaging.

The BIR Canon
Mayneord Memorial Lecture is an annual award made to an individual or a group
of collaborators in recognition of recent or current contributions in the wide
and expanding field of radiology. The lecture was founded in 1984 in memory of
Professor William Valentine Mayneord CBE FRS, past president and honorary member
of the BIR. The lecture is given at the annual UKIO.

Canon Medical Systems UK sponsors
this BIR award which recognises values, skills and contributions at the
forefront of medical imaging. This is in line with Canon Medical Systems’
commitment to education.

Mark Hitchman, Managing Director
of Canon Medical Systems UK said, “We are proud to once again support The
British Institute of Radiology’s annual award lecture at UKIO. This recognises
leading luminaries from our imaging community and provides insights and
knowledge to keep expanding radiological boundaries. We look forward to
Professor Prokop’s lecture and hope that as a pioneer in multislice CT, he will
motivate and inspire everyone working to support the needs of UK healthcare.”

Professor Prokop
served on several industry advisory boards as well as numerous scientific
committees. He is fellow of the Society of Computed Body Tomography &
Magnetic Resonance (SCBT-MR). He is an elected member of the Fleischner Society
and the Society of Strategic Studies Radiology (IS3R). He has been consultant
to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on radiation protection in CT
and the World Health Organization (WHO) on individual health assessment. He was
vice chairman of the Dutch Radiological Society and is honorary member of the
Hungarian Society of Radiology. He was the Josef Lissner Honorary Lecturer of
the European Society of Radiology (ESR) in 2017 and the Roentgen Lecturer of
the German Radiologic Society (DRG) in 2016. He received numerous awards from
leading radiologic societies, most recently the Teaching Award of the European
School of Radiology (ESOR).
